Is it possible to Load XMP file and Preserve a previously loaded XMP File.

 I would like to store a set of annotations into a Symbol Table in SQL as an XMP File so that a set

of previously saved annotations can be stored as a group.

 Is it possible to load multiple XMP files (in my case my -symbols-) into the same viewer without destroying the first loade XMP file.

 The Annotate Demo program allows loading an XMP file but if you try to load a second XMP file the first one will be removed.

 Any help would be appreciated

You can control how the annotations are loaded by using the XmpFormatter directly.  Just create an instance of XmpFormatter and use its Deserialize method to read the annotation data into an object.  Most likely this object will be a LayerCollection, but it might be a single annotation as well.

Once deserialized, you can add the annotations or layers to the existing annotations.
